This newly reissued debut book in the Rutgers University Press
Classics Imprint is the story of the search for a rocket propellant
which could be trusted to take man into space. This search was a
hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs who worked against
the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of success or safety.
Acclaimed scientist and sci-fi author John Drury Clark writes with
irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of the
explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints
of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a memoir as a work of
history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an enterprise which
eventually took men to the moon, missiles to the planets, and
satellites to outer space. A classic work in the history of
science, and described as “a good book on rocket
stuff…that’s a really fun one” by SpaceX founder Elon Musk,
readers will want to get their hands on this influential classic,
available for the first time in decades.
